Still, the Home is slowly but surely adding to its own list of smart home capabilities. Today's announcement also hinted that smart home controls could be coming to the Google Pixel soon -- the Pixel packs the same Google Assistant inside of a smartphone, but with slightly different capabilities.

In December, Google announced it was expanding Weave -- its proprietary language that smart-home devices can use to talk to each other. That announcement listed Belkin, Honeywell, Lifx, Wink, TP-Link and First Alert as companies that would be adopting Weave. Since Belkin and Honeywell now work with the Home, that list could be a good preview of the Assistant's next integrations.
